Chapter 53 – Accompany you to the ends of the earth
[To celebrate the first day in your new home, you decide to cook a meal.]
[Wisdom of Mortals activated... Observer activated...]
[With incredibly precise skills, you prepare a table full of delicious dishes. Your culinary skills have improved, and you feel more adept at using the kitchen tools.]
[You regret that this world lacks the concept of a God of Cooking, otherwise you might have given it a try.]
[At the dining table, Krisa praises your cooking.]
["The food made by the mentor is the best."]
[She speaks these words of praise in a calm yet sincere tone, and because she eats too quickly, soup stains appear at the corners of her mouth.]
[You carefully wipe the girl's mouth clean.]
[The dinner is enjoyable, not only because of the delicious food but also because you've finally left the wilderness and returned to living indoors.]
[During the post-dinner chat, you tell the witch about the information on the gods, mentioning that you might become enemies with them in the future.]
[The witch's wisdom is rather slow, and she doesn't quite understand your meaning, but in her heart, the answer will always be the same.]
[As long as you need her, she will always be by your side.]
[The witch's response is as calm as ever, but this time it carries a sense of determination. Even if you become enemies with the world, she will accompany you to the ends of the earth.]
"Krisa, this is very dangerous."
"I know, mentor."
"Shouldn't you think it over?"
"No need, mentor."
There's no need to consider the danger, nor any need to hesitate.
For the witch who has been mired in malice since childhood and tormented nearly to death, such words simply do not exist.
What she must do, what she can do, is to stay by the side of that sun.
...
[The witch has her own set of principles, very firm, very decisive. You feel gratified for her, but also worry that Krisa might be targeted by the gods.]
[You decide to be more cautious in protecting Krisa in the future.]
[You continue your conversation with her.]
[You impart a lot of knowledge about the gods, allowing the girl to understand the enemy and not be completely in the dark.]
[She is amazed by the power of the gods and recalls witnessing the God of Light's divine punishment near Allenson last time.]
[The witch asks you if there is a power in this world stronger than the gods.]
[You think for a long time.]
[Finally, you give a joking answer.]
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
["Perhaps the power of love can, after all, sometimes the power of emotions is limitless."]
[You say this with a smile, recalling the many passionate anime you watched before crossing over, where the protagonists would defeat all their enemies while shouting about friendship, bonds, love, and justice.]
[Unfortunately, the real world is cruel, and power needs to be built up gradually. You can't defeat the gods in such a way.]
...
[Time flies, and the cycle begins anew.]
[In the eleventh year of simulation, you are 25, and Krisa is 17.]
[Time passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, you and Krisa have lived in Warg City for a year. You did not use your previous identities but instead fabricated false ones.]
[A year is enough to wear down the unfamiliarity and unease, and you return to your former daily life, living peacefully in Warg City just like in Allenson City.]
[In spring, you take Krisa to enjoy the fragrance of mountain flowers and plants.]
[In summer, you listen to the cicadas in the courtyard while Krisa serves you chilled fruit juice.]
[In autumn, as the weather begins to cool, the steam equipment runs all day, and you and Krisa quietly watch the autumn leaves fall.]
[In winter, with the snow thick and deep, you particularly enjoy this time, sipping the hot drinks Krisa makes while reading magic books.]
[Everything is so beautiful, everything is so harmonious.]
[You hope this daily life can last forever. With your talent, as long as you have enough time, you can reach a higher realm.]
[And to your delight, in this new year, Krisa has advanced from an Official Mage to an Elite Mage.]
In the new courtyard where you've lived for a year in Warg City.
Xu Xi looks at the now 17-year-old gray-haired witch and nods slightly. He can sense Krisa's mental power transforming, advancing to a deeper level.
This means Krisa is about to break through to an Elite Mage.
Stronger power.
Greater self-protection ability.
In this world, while there are many strong individuals, they aren't everywhere.
The strength of an Elite Mage is enough for Krisa to stand on her own.
"Krisa, relax a bit more, let your mental power try to sense the elements as much as possible."
Xu Xi instructs, with a large canopy overhead, the leaves rustling in the wind, forming a dappled pattern of light and shadow.
The girl stands just below.
Her cold, delicate face alternates between light and shadow.
"Yes, mentor," she responds softly, focusing on mobilizing her mental power, carefully sensing the earth, wind, water, and fire around her.
The soil beneath her feet, the flow of air, the whistling steam, the scorching sunlight.
The four basic elements hidden in all things.
Gradually being synchronized and captured by Krisa's mental power.
But just then, without Krisa herself realizing, her eyes rapidly change, the mixed black and gold colors quickly blending, like a vortex spinning.
"Thud—"
Mental power breakthrough successful.
The witch advances to Elite Mage.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, she falls straight down and loses consciousness.
"Krisa?!"
Xu Xi's expression changes slightly, and he rushes over to check.
...
[You are delighted with the witch's progress.]
[You believe that at her current pace of cultivation, before you leave this world, you can definitely train her to become a Grand Archmage.]
[With such power, even if you're not around, the witch can protect herself.]
[You envision the future and prepare 4-5 level magic books in advance, intending to teach the new magic to the 17-year-old witch.]
[But you never expected that at the moment of her successful advancement, her eyes, which had been calm for a year, would change again, causing the witch to fall into a deep coma.]
[You urgently cast Life Magic, only to find that the witch is not injured, and the magic has no effect.]
[You are surprised, you are puzzled.]
[Observer activated... continuously activated...]
[You recall the witch's eyes and speculate that the cause of this coma might be a change in the demon bloodline within the girl, giving you a new research direction.]
[You quickly take the witch to the Meditation Chamber to rest and search through the demon race books you collected before.]
[You find it far from enough, so you head to the Mage Association, where you find two more ancient books after some inquiries.]
[Wisdom of Mortals continuously activated...]
[Demon race research deepens...]
